Hard to Believe.....

........That this monstrosity will eventually be our fireplace.

To me it looks more like something from a science fiction movie. Introducing.... the Fireplace Xtraordinaire. This super efficient furnace will be entombed in a stone fireplace so that only a black wrought iron door will be visible. It has a sophisticated air-intake system and catalytic converter so that wood is burned cleanly and efficiently. It supposedly burns the smoke, too. It should put out enough BTU's to heat the first floor and loft completely. (Nothing better than toasty heat on a blustery winter's day). I think I will like it much better when it looks like a traditional rustic fireplace and not a metal monster with gaping jaws!

Welcome to Bee Haven Acres! This 200+ year old log house is the landmark that distinguishes our farm as you drive down the road. It was inhabited until the mid 1960's. We have had some rennovation done to it in the past few years. No one inhabits it any longer. Its basement is a springhouse that at one time served as drinking water for its occupants. There is always plenty happening at Bee Haven Acres....come see!

Bee Haven Acres

We are a small family owned and operated farm located in beautiful Central Pennsylvania, midway between Harrisburg and State College. We practice organic farming and strive to live harmoniously with nature. We lovingly grow our own produce, blueberries, apples, honey, gourmet eggs and adorable goats. We consume much of what we produce but also allocate a bit each year to share with others. We often have surplus honey, eggs and produce for sale. We hope to be able to market some of our farm fresh products from this site in the near future. Please visit with us often.....we have many stories to share with you!
